Getting UTF-8 to work with Irssi on windows

Paradox — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:58:29 +0000

If you are at all like me, and i suspect someone is, you will use software on systems it wasn’t designed for. I use Irssi for chatting, on windows, due to its supereor functionality to many other clients. Unfortunately, a side effect of using software on systems it wasn’t designed for is having to use [...] Related posts:

Limiting signature image width/height in MyBB

Paradox — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:06:22 +0000

This is a feature that is found in SMF, and a lot of MyBB users I know have asked about a similar feature. While this is not a simple preference pane value, it is easy to set up, and anyone should be able to do so. This is a simple process, and all it requires is [...] Related posts:

Using CSS 3 Resize, and controlling it
Paradox — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:32:00 +0000

CSS3 includes a useful new property called Resize. This allows a developer to specify any block element in their site as resizeable, and the users of said site to be able to resize it, either by grippy handles in a corner, or by expanding the edges via cursors. Another useful trick of css is how [...]

Use a little known CSS trick to make your tables pop.
Paradox — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 17:58:43 +0000

Many advanced web designers know of this trick, but there doesn’t seem to be any documentation about it anywhere. It is a simple css trick to allow a user viewing a table with no cell borders to see what all lies in a row.
The trick is to make it so when a user hovers over [...]

How to open clamshell packages, without blood.

We all know what I’m talking about. Those plastic packages that new electronic goodies come in. Your new toy is there, behind a few millimeters of plastic, but out of reach. You will spend the next 5 minutes to an hour trying to crack the plastic, to use your toy. There has to be a [...]

Active Desktop: The widget engine built into windows
Paradox — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 02:06:42 +0000

If you want widgets or gadgets on your desktop, but aren’t running a newer version of windows, you are still in luck. Instead of downloading one of the many packages available (Google Desktop, Yahoo Widgets, etc), you can just use the one that has shipped with all versions of windows since 98. Active Desktop.

Sure it [...]

Make your code and blockquotes scroll
Paradox — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:14:32 +0000

<p>Many sites use loads of <blockquote> and <code> tags (or other types of block text tags) to house text. Most of these are inserted in a post, be it a forum, blog, or other post. Problem is, if there is a load of content in these blocks, it can quickly take over your whole post, [...]

Downloading files to your server using CURL
Paradox — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:47:00 +0000

<p>The common way to install things on a server, be it web or otherwise, is to download the files to a local machine, then ftp each file up to the destination server. This is horribly inefficient, as you have to transfer the files 2 times, and your connection likely isnt too fast. There is a [...]
